iTunes Remote App for Android Looks Fantastic [Android Itunes Remote]
Gizmodo —
One of our favorite apps for the iPhone is the iTunes remote, so we're thrilled to see one for Android. Jeff Sharkey says that he reverse engineered the remote protocol from the iPhone and touch and used it to create an iTunes remote for Android (a process he details here). As you can see in the video, it looks amazing and works perfectly in the Android emulator, just like Apple's, though you have to manually enter the IP address and pairing code. Since Jeff is already a $275,000 winner of the Android Dev Challenge, we're hopeful it'll work just as beautifully on a real live ...

GPS В связи с тем, что появилось много новичков на форуме, хотя сам к ним еще отношусь, доступно объясню, что и как нужно делать, чтоб работал GPS. Немного теории Начнем, пожалуй, с объяснения, что такое A-GPS и чем он отличается от GPS. В большинстве случаев сотовые телефоны не имеют достаточно хорошего приемника, который бы смог обеспечить увереный прием сигнала в помещении или между высотками. Именно тут приходит на помошь так называемый A-GPS, что в большинстве других мобильных телефонах называется просто GPS (подробнее…) ...

A Hands-on First Look at Google Android [Android]
Lifehacker —
[image] As an open source advocate and developer with a serious love / hate relationship with my iPhone, I couldn't wait to get my paws on a device running Google's brand spankin' new open-source mobile phone operating system, Android and I haven't been disappointed. I've spent the last four days using an HTC G1 phone running the first release of Android, and while it is not an iPhone-killer, it is a killer device for heavy Google users (like you and me). Let's take a look at why Android does and doesn't live up to its hype. Note: Since the iPhone I use as my primary phone is my sole experience with a touchscreen smartphone ...
